Originally published in 1954, The Toll-Gate is a regency novel by Georgette Heyer. Unlike the other books I’ve read by Heyer, The Toll-Gate is not so much a regency romance as a regency mystery with a bit of romance. The novel is set in 1817 in the Peak District, which is an upland area in north central England mainly in Derbyshire (which is also the setting for many scenes in Pride and Prejudice). Captain Jack Staple is on his way to visit a friend, when he discovers a toll-gate untended except for a small boy. He quickly discovers a mystery in the disappearance of the boy’s father and decides to pretend to be a mysterious cousin to the boy to investigate the case. I must admit that I did not like The Toll-Gate as much as I have loved all other Heyer novels that I have read. This book was entertaining and a good mystery, but I was expecting a romance and my expectations were not met. Also the book seemed to get caught up in jokes involving the vernacular of the lower classes. I could understand what they were talking about mostly, but felt left out of the joke a lot of the time. Plus, I must admit to a personal dislike of books that use a lot of vernacular. Heyer writes with great detail as usual, it’s just in this case the detail dealt a lot with the way the different classes spoke at the time and I found it a little hard to get into and enjoy. Overall, The Toll-Gate is a good mystery, but it is very light on regency romance and full of vernacular jokes.
